1:12Now PlayingThe UK is in discussions to convene a group of European leaders for further talks about Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to people familiar with the matter, following a week of shuttle diplomacy between Paris, Washington and Kyiv.
The meeting could happen as soon as Sunday and would be a follow-up to summits held last week in Paris by French President Emmanuel Macron, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. They cautioned that the plans were not finalized and could still change, and that it could be held virtually as an alternative option.
European leaders are engaged in an intense diplomatic effort to persuade President Donald Trump not to rush into a cease-fire deal with Russia that the continent worries would embolden Moscow and weaken security in Europe. Macron met Trump in the White House on Monday evening and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is due to meet the US president in Washington on Thursday.
Starmer’s office declined to comment on the plans.
Trump on Monday appeared to speed ahead with his plans to end the war without input from European nations or Ukraine, saying on social media that he’s in “serious discussions” with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
